Page_ClientValidate is validating multiple times.

Question

problem i have is that, the validation summary message(alert) is displayed twice. I cannot figure out the reason. Please help. Here is the code ``` function validate() //javascript function { if (typeof(Page_ClientValidate) == 'function') { var isPageValid = Page_ClientValidate(); if(isPageValid) { } } } ```

Accepted Answer

The problem is that the function Page_ClientValidate takes an input parameter, if you don't specify the input then the validationsummary triggers once per groupname.

In your case, the function triggers twice: once for groupname="ContactGroup" and another time for groupname=""

you should change

```
var isPageValid = Page_ClientValidate();
```

to

```
var isPageValid = Page_ClientValidate('');
```

if you don't want to specify a ValidationGroup, or if you want to specify a groupname then you need to call Page_ClientValidate like so:

```
var isPageValid = Page_ClientValidate('ContactGroup');
```

Page_ClientValidate is validating multiple times.
